Manson Statement

Marilyn Manson has reviewed the lawsuit filed by Maria St. John (the mother of deceased Jennifer Syme), seeking to hold Manson responsible for Symes death as a result of a solo car crash which occurred in the early morning hours of April 2, 2001. Manson describes as completely false St. Johns allegation that he furnished to Syme what St. Johns lawsuit describes as various quantities of an illegal controlled substance.

Manson believes that the lawsuit is completely unfounded and is investigating an immediate counter-suit against St. John for slander, harassment and abuse of the legal process. This lawsuit, which is completely without merit, will not bring back Jennifers life. It serves only to reopen the wounds and the pain felt by all who loved Jennifer. It is a pity that St. John sullies her own daughters reputation by filing this baseless claim.

Manson confirmed for role in Party Monster

Manson has just signed on to play the role of "Christina in the film Party Monster, produced by Killer Films.

The film is set in the New York nightclub scene of the late 1980s and 1990s. This is the story of Michael Alig, a Club Kid party organizer originally form Indiana, whose extravagant life was sent spiraling downwards when he boasted on television that he had killed his drug dealer and roommate, Angel Melendez.

Production is currently scheduled to begin in April 2002

TITLE OF THE NEW ALBUM

The title of the fifth coming LP is also mentioned on the official site news, as well as integrated into the website design. Officially dubbed, "The Golden Age of Grotesque," the concept and image of the new album are beginning to unravel and Manson's direction is becoming more apparent.

THE NEW LOGO

For the past 3 LP albums, we've been introduced to a symbol that corresponds with the album's philosophy. The shock symbol, which corresponds with Antichrist Superstar; The mercury symbol, that is linked with Holy Wood. The new symbol, still lacking any extensive significance, represents "The Golden Age of Grotesque".

Shown below are several quotes said by Manson in various publications. A big thank you goes to NEW-MODEL for providing these quotes.

We have entered The Golden Age of Grotesque

Marilyn Manson has returned to crash the ether with a wit-savage shape, painting us a depraved new world disorder on his fifth studio album titled, The Golden Age Of Grotesque. Manson is currently in the studio and is expecting a fall release on Interscope Records. Even at such an early stage, the focus of the musics aggressive transformation is fashioned and fearless.

The nearly completed collection of songs is being orchestrated by the theatrical production team of Manson, Tim Skold and Ben Gross. The result is what Marilyn Manson describes as his most genius deluge of hardcore guitar-drum violence and reckless electronic-punk vaudeville mixed with 30s cabaret decadence and Arch-dandy dada. These snot-nose stompalongs will convince the finger-waving, faithless bangsters one thing for sure. We can only become what we really are when we no longer believe what others have convinced us to be. We wont follow religion, we are one. And the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art.

On his influences, Manson had this to say, My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of historys greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror todays less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and fear of dangerous art.

As a close to his speech, Manson added this: So stand up dopplegangers, we are on a leave of Absinthe! Our lives are theatre, we are the art and the world will now become the beautifully grotesque stage it was always meant to be. Am I just an innocuous entertainer or am I the destructive force and the terrible reality youve suspected all along?

The simple answer is, I am Marilyn Manson.

MARILYN MANSON COVERS "TAINTED LOVE"/ RECORDS LIVE DVD

It sort of makes sense that Marilyn Manson has chosen to cover Soft Cell's 1982 new wave classic, "Tainted Love," for the upcoming film "Not Another Teen Movie."

A video for the track was shot by Philip Atwell, who has directed clips for Dr. Dre and Eminem. The soundtrack for "Not Another Teen Movie" is in stores NOW.

A remix of Manson's track "Nobodies" is currently featured in the Johnny Depp film "From Hell." Originally, Manson was approached to score the film, but creative differences with the production team nixed the deal, a spokesperson for Manson said. In the end, South African composer Trevor Jones supplied the sparse orchestral score.

Manson's other project of the moment is a live DVD, which was shot October 8, 2001 at the Grand Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. The still-untitled DVD is scheduled for release sometime this year, the spokesperson said.

Marilyn Manson Sued in Woman's Death
The mother of a woman who died in a car crash last year has sued Marilyn Manson for wrongful death, alleging that the musician gave the woman drugs before the accident.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Superior Court, claims that Manson was negligent in "instructing the woman to operate a motor vehicle in her incapacitated condition." Maria St. John is seeking unspecified damages and attorney fees.

The lawsuit alleges that St. John's daughter, 28-year-old Jennifer Syme, was with the singer and other unnamed defendants last April. Manson allegedly gave Syme drugs before she was dropped off at her home. She got into her car, with the intent of returning to Manson's home, according to the lawsuit.

Syme, an actress and former girlfriend of actor Keanu Reeves, later crashed into at least three parked cars and was thrown from her car. She died at the scene.
